Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you teach adults or kids?

    Both! We welcome all artists ages 10 and up at the Moon.

    We are able to accommodate younger artists for mobile art experiences and birthday parties.

    You can learn a little more about our teaching philosophy here.

  • What are your hours?

    Weekly classes and experiences can be booked throughout the week depending on availability.

    When booking a class, you’ll be given a link to our studio calendar to find a time that’s right for you.

    Can’t find the right time? Contact Sarah - she’ll be happy to help get you on the calendar!

  • Where is Studio Moon?

    Studio Moon is a micro studio located in our home. We converted our garage into a working studio when Sarah started to get serious about ceramics. It has heat and A/C and is comfortable year round!

    We are located in South Austin, near Slaughter Lane and Menchaca Road. We provide the exact address upon booking.

  • How do I schedule a class or party?

    Feel free to book though our website or contact Sarah directly to get a spot on our calendar.

    Space on our schedule is limited, so consider booking ahead!

  • What pottery equipment and supplies does your studio have?

    Our micro studio has a Brent EX wheel, a Bailey tabletop slab roller and a Skutt 822 kiln. We use a mix of brush-on glazes from Amaco, Mayco and Coyote and offer a variety of Armadillo, Mayco and Ceramic Shop dipping glazes. We also have a house made white stoneware slip available.

    We have various tools from some Diamond Core carving tools to GR pottery forms, as well as a handheld extruder and a variety of fun items from Garrity Tools. We also have a Giffin Grip for trimming, as well as a Footer from Wallace Pottery.

  • What cone do you fire to?

    We use mid-fire clay during weekly classes and ceramics experiences, firing to cone 05 and cone 5. We use Armadillo Clay Cinco Blanco and Cinco Rojo.

    We also occasionally run luster firings when there is enough work to fill the kiln (cone 018 and cone 020).

    For mobile experiences with kids, as well as ceramics birthday parties, we use low fire clay (Armadillo Longhorn White) and fire to cone 04.

  • Do you offer memberships?

    Not at this time. We’ve opted to focus on community experiences and private/semi-private instruction rather than renting out our studio space.

  • Do you offer firing services?

    Yes! Studio Moon has acquired ATX Kiln Club and will begin offering firing services beginning 6/15. Find more info on our Kiln Club page.

  • Hey, wait a minute - is Sarah still a ceramicist?

    Yep! Sarah is still making her own art - her work can be found at Sister Moon Ceramics and can be seen at the Moon when you swing by. :-)
